Movie Reviews of Stanton Welch - Divergence / Australian Ballet

Movie Review: Vitality, Brio, Style.
Summary: 5 Stars

This ballet reveals the Australian Ballet to be an sizzeling(?) tour de force. The choreography is fast and furious with subtle interludes and complex steps. There are almost too many fireworks but the music and the dancing sustains a unified and sensuous set of dances. I love it. I saw it live, with Suite en Blanc in a double by the Aust Ballet called Paris Match, and it was a wonderful pairing.
This DVD does the Ballet justice. The costumes are inventive and fun and the sleek corps de ballet and other principals and stars all dance with a sort of sexy knowingness which is cheeky and merry. Sad that Stanton Welsh belongs now to Houston ballet.

Summary of Stanton Welch - Divergence / Australian Ballet

Music by Georges Bizet
The Australian Ballet

If you close your eyes at the opening of Divergence you will hear the familiar strains of Bizet?s L?Arlésienne and perhaps imagine yourself at a traditional performance. Whatever you do, don?t close your eyes. Not for a second.

Divergence is an adrenalin-charged and provocative work and must be seen in its entirety. From the opening movement, you will be startled by Welch?s vision.

Contradictions abound. It is both light and playful, alien and sensuous, serene and chaotic, cool and explosive. Stanton Welch believes in classical ballet. Yet your expectations will be denied and preconceptions challenged by this, his most original creation.

In Welch?s own words, "classical ballet is like any living creature, it requires fresh and dangerous sustenance to give it life."
